Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for Bottleneck Cases .22-250 Rem

The Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for .22-250 Rem gives you the precision tooling you need to load consistent, accurate ammunition for this popular varmint and medium-game cartridge. If you're handloading bottleneck rifle cases, a quality full length die set is foundational—and Redding's Series A has been the reloader's go-to for decades. This set includes both the full length resizing die and the seating die, along with the accessories that make setup and maintenance straightforward.

The full length resizing die houses a decapping rod assembly with a neck expander button, allowing you to resize fired brass back to SAAMI spec and remove spent primers in one stroke. The seating die includes a built-in bullet guide and crimp ring, so you can seat bullets consistently and apply a crimp if your loads demand it. Redding machines these dies to extremely tight tolerances on Hardinge Super-Precision lathes, then heat-treats them in controlled furnaces and hand-polishes each one for smooth, reliable operation. The result is ammunition that chambers cleanly in any standard .22-250 Rem chamber, regardless of your action.

Every Series A set ships with a spare decapping pin, a hex wrench for pin changes, and a handy storage box that doubles as a cartridge loading block—there's even a slot inside to keep your shellholder organized. These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread, so they'll fit any standard reloading press. Whether you're loading for varmint matches, hunting, or general range work, Redding's attention to detail means your dies will deliver consistent results for years.
